Advancements in technology for the manufacturing sector have improved every industry in the marketplace. Major innovations continue to create improvements in the productivity and sustainability of entire production processes. These innovations include process automation, additive manufacturing, and the inclusion of artificial intelligence. With the struggles of the COVID-19 pandemic, manufacturers are searching for ways to maintain productivity with reduced manpower. With that in mind, businesses are wondering what the future of manufacturing technology is.

Today, more then ever, industrial automation is becoming highly prevalent and relied upon to keep up with growing industry expectations. Stemming from the Industrial Revolution manufacturing rapidly increased, which then brought  Mechanization. This made the manufacturing process more optimized and required less labor and amplified production. Currently, with the implementation of automation, we can expand production even further. Now machines are capable of much more and are able to work around the clock and extended productivity.
